EXCLUSIVE: The Gift of You Sessions! ~ Ottawa Photographer

While going through the long and emotional process to bring our daughter home from Ethiopia in 2007/2008 there was one poem that really touched me whenever I heard it. Its such a short, simple poem but to me it described perfectly what an adoptive parent feels about their child:

The Gift of You

I didn’t give you the gift of life,
But in my heart I know.
The love I feel is deep and real,
As if it had been so.

For us to have each other
Is like a dream come true!
No, I didn’t give you
The gift of life,
Life gave me the gift of you.
— Unknown

Now, to those who know me, know that its absolutely no secret how proud and emotional I am over my own children’s adoptions, as well as those of friends and acquaintances who are/were in the process. This is a community of people who I feel very connected with as we have all shared the same joys and tears. I know first hand the emotional, physical and financial stress that an adoption can bring to a family. Thankfully, I also know the joys and excitement that ultimately follow… :-)

With great excitement, I am thrilled to introduce an exclusive program:

Over the next several weeks/months I will be connecting with several local Ottawa Social Workers and Adoption Agencies to ensure that they know how this program works and to pass the info along to their adoptive families, however, feel free to share this information with any family that you think may be interested in this amazing program!

I am sincerely looking forward to meeting new adoptive families in our community!! All the best in your amazing journeys!

Danielle

Chasing the Light ~ Ottawa Childrens Photography

A daughter is the happy memories of the past, the joyful moments of the present, and the hope and promise of the future.  ~Author Unknown

________________

Her raw beauty, her sweet innocence, her pure honesty, her amazing, strong personality, her ability to love wholeheartedly and without judgment. She has many qualities that I, myself, do not possess and I hope she never outgrows them. I admit, 3 has been a challenging age for us so far. She is very strong willed and determined these days. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. Having the privilege of loving this girl is not something I ever take for granted, no matter how challenging she is!

Last night I decided to grab the camera, my girl and one of my vintage chairs and chase around the light out in a field near our home here in Ottawa. We got EATEN ALIVE by horseflies but she was a great sport and I think all of the bug bites were worth it. ;-)

SUPER COOL SPRING MINI SESSIONS!!! ~ Ottawa Photographers

So many of you have been saying over those long winter months “I REALLY need to get my butt in gear and book a session with you Danielle…“. Well my friends, the excuses are over and your chance has come!!! ITS SPRING!! The weather has been beautiful, the birds are singing in the trees, and whether you want to admit it or not, those family pictures you had done at the department store 4 years ago look dusty and horribly outdated! So why not use this opportunity to replace them!?

Some creative ideas on how to make the most of your Spring Mini Session:


~ Treat your teenage daughter or son to a photo shoot that’s all about them! Awesome for self-esteem building or even just because!

~ Surprise the heck out of your wife, husband, fiance or significant other with the long over due portrait session that you’ve been putting off!

~ Give the walls of your home a total face lift and book a session for your family! Kids grow so fast Moms and Dads! Capture it while you can!

~ How about a Mother Daughter session to capture that special relationship?

~ Have a birthday, anniversary or another big milestone coming up? Mark the occasion with custom photos!!

Princess Mia take TWO! ~ Ottawa Family and Baby Photographer

This past weekend I went back to shoot the second half of the session with Princess Mia and her family…and I think it was worth the wait! Here’s part one if you missed it. Big brother Zachary was in a bit better spirits (although didn’t entertain me for long!) and sweet Mia was a bit sleepier too which made it easier to get a bunch more with her and her Mommy and Daddy!

Enjoy Sneak Peek #2 guys – and enjoy your family of FOUR!! Oh, and thanks for the coffee and Banana Bread…it was delicious! ;)

Sweet Mia ~ Ottawa / Gatineau Newborn Photographer

THIS my friends, was the cutest, sweetest little girl!! Seriously! Have you ever seen more beautiful eyes?! And those teeny tiny little LIPS! They had me swooning for the entire session! Well technically, I should say, this is part ONE of the session. We wanted to do some more family shots but big brother Zachary had missed his nap and due to the time change, was a little out of sorts. So hopefully next weekend I’ll be able to post some images of part TWO as we try again when the little man is a little more rested!

Thanks Renee, Dan, Zachary and Mia! Enjoy your sneak peek for part one! :-D
